His rich resume of outstanding collaborations include a 15-year songwriting and production partnership with Luther Vandross and artists as varied as David Sanborn, Roberta Flack, Aretha Franklin, Al Jarreau and Wayne Shorter. With his distinctive style – a unique combination of funk, groove and soul – Miller is often referred to as one of the most important bass players in jazz, R&B, fusion and soul. Born and raised in New York to a musical family (legendary jazz pianist Wynton Kelly is a cousin), Miller’s characteristic bass sound can be heard on a limitless catalogue of hits from Bill Wither’s “Just The Two Of Us”, to Luther Vandross’ “Never Too Much”, to songs from Chaka Khan, Herbie Hancock, Eric Clapton, Aretha Franklin, George Benson, Elton John and Bryan Ferry to name a few. Marcus Miller has one of the most enviable and expansive musical careers in the industry. Oh and if you like bass, there’s plenty of serious bass work on this album too!” All of the special guests I called have the same vision about jazz, which made it possible to create this mix of music.

Most of the tracks on the album were recorded with his band in a New York studio and he also recruited guest artists Trombone Shorty, Kirk Whalum, Take Six, Jonathan Butler and Selah Sue.

With Laid Black, I decided to bring the music right up to the present – using elements from what’s happening in urban music today. “I followed the journey of my ancestors by collaborating with musicians along the African Slave route – musicians from West Africa, North Africa, South America and the Caribbean. When asked about the new album He said “Afrodeezia was like a musical voyage through my history” explains Miller. The album pre-order launched last Friday along with the lead single “Untamed” which is now available to stream or download. Three years since the release of his last album, Afrodeezia, multi-Grammy-winning bassist Marcus Miller will release his new album “Laid Black” on Blue Note Records on June 1st.
